[0064] Specifically, when the first transport mechanism is installed, the first driving source (servo motor) is firmly installed on the material placement platform, and connected to the empty tray transport bottom plate through a synchronous belt to ensure stable transmission. The empty tray transport bottom plate is installed under the material placement platform through a linear rail, and the position is adjusted so that it can move smoothly, and a U-shaped sensor is installed at the start and end positions. The second driving source (lifting cylinder) is installed on the empty tray transport bottom plate, and fixed through a cylinder mounting seat to ensure that its output end can be accurately inserted into the first long strip through hole on the material placement platform. A deformation clamping part is set on the empty tray transport bottom plate, a liquid pool is made and filled with electrorheological fluid inside, and electrodes are installed on the inner walls on both sides relative to each other so that an external circuit can apply an electric field. Positioning pins and anti-fool pins are inserted on the tray element of the tray tray, a locking shaft is set at the bottom, and an inwardly concave slot is machined in an array along the axial direction on the locking shaft, and the slot opening is set as an arc surface.

The third power source (linear module) is installed on the transfer bracket, and the transfer fixture is fixed at its output end. Piezoelectric ceramic positioning elements that can be deformed along the width are arranged in an array on the transfer fixture. The detection component is installed on the second carrier mechanism at an angle, and its detection optical path is adjusted to point to the transfer fixture. When installing the material placement platform, the tray loading plate is installed to ensure that the position of the double-inlet rectangular through-groove opened on it is accurate. The material storage component is installed on the tray loading plate, and the tray blocking seat is detachably installed on the side of the rectangular through-groove. The lifting and unloading component is installed between the adjacent tray blocking seats along the length direction of the tray loading plate, and the tray fixing component and the tray detection sensor are installed between the adjacent tray blocking seats along the width direction of the tray loading plate.

The designs of the deformable clamping part, piezoelectric ceramic positioning element and micro-motion assembly ensure the stability and reliability of the device during operation and reduce the probability of failure. The material storage components and positioning and handling components on the material placement platform can store multiple trays, and position and transport materials, which improves the versatility of the device. The structural design of the entire device is reasonable, and the operation is simple and convenient, which reduces the workload and difficulty of the operator.
